Please read! Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on attaking the U.S.?

Question

He said today : "The enemy knows well that any invasion would be followed by a comprehensive reaction to the invaders and their interests all over the world."
How will they be able to do something like that if they don't have the long range weapons? Or they do have them?

Answer 1

later in his statement he said it would be easy to kidnap Americans in those places, most of their weapons would be aimed at U.S. troops in Iraq or at Israel

Answer 2

That is the Ayatollah's take on the US attacking Iran.
What he's saying is that if the US attacks Iran, the counter-attack would be waged against the US and any interests it has anywhere in the world. That could include American oil interests in the middle east, American embassy's, American based corporations throughout the world.....the list goes on. It would also affect other countries with political ties to America.

Long range weapons are quite ineffective in that context.

Answer 3

there is more to war than missiles like terrorist and saboteurs. They can strike anywhere any time and what can you do to stop them Nothing! The other US interest is well within range of Iranian missiles and that is the refineries in the gulf which would be blasted by cruise and ballistic missiles as well as terrorist attacks or commando attacks. They could also attack and sink supertankers in the very narrow straits of Hormuz and block all shipping in or out of the gulf. The other way is to launch a ground assault on US forces in Iraq they are too tied down with Insurgents to counter attack effectively. This would be Bushes newest and greatest mistake.

Answer 4

Oh, but they DO have long range weapons--they are known as Islamic extremists---and they are everywhere !! Each of these human missles are capable of much less damage pshyically as individual "weapons" than the traditional ICBM but can reak major havoc on a grand scale with psychological torment on the case by case basis as they apply their bodies to the shopping malls and buses around the world--- then the iimmediate Political impact WILL BE the unbelievable tightening of so called "security measures" which will present the public at large with the next round of -----WE MUST GIVE UP "SOME" LIBERTIES IN ORDER TO "HAVE" SECURITY----which will be the next notch in THEIR favor because they will have achieved the next hallmark in reducing America to a Police State !!! Fairly ingenius -- huh ???

The attack on Iran IS COMING---the build up is already in the works--- Why do you think after all this time of STAYING THE COURSE and the refusal to give extra troops to Iraq the current administration has all of a sudden sent FAR more troops into that corridor ?? Because of the election of a few Democrats to Congress ?? Guess again !! A notching up of the situation in that region at this time is NOT too much more than a "controlled burn" in order to have a much wider scaled conflict in the mix by national elections--- the current power mongers know that with widened conflict -- the tendency of people is to stay with the powers that are in place !!! They have nothing more to rely on for their continuing hold on the reins !!! And, in order for them to see us into the North American Union---they MUST CONTINUE TO EXCERCISE THE REINS OF POWER !!!!

Answer 5

I can't help but laugh at NONAME. The US doesn't care to invade Iran unless Hillary wins? You obviously don't know what your talking about. Hillary is not smart enough to see that far into the future and how Iran will affect us. Bush will be the one to do something about Iran because he knows if the wrong person is put in office they will sit back and wait for the next 9/11 before doing anything.

And to the original question, they are just talking big. How many terrorist attacks have their been on US soil since we went into Afghanistan and Iraq? Here's a hint, ZERO.

Answer 6

Because Iran doesn't need long range missiles. We have civilians and military personnel all over the world not including our many embassies and navy ships visiting foreign ports. He is talking about terrorist type actions more than direct Iran military confrontation where their army faces our army directly.

Answer 7

We're not going to invade Iran, unless they do something really, really stupid. But even in that case, we'd probably give them a demonstration of what strategic bombing campaign means.

Answer 8

they fund terrorists like Hezbollah, Islamic jihad, and other terror cells. These cells Iran believes can be activated worldwide to attack interests for them, much like the latest conflict involving Lebanon and Israel, however I don't worry about it much, most of the cells that do get into the United States fall off the Iranian radar, most Iranians like it here, Plus, we will destroy their communications abilities anyway, I say bomb them into the past.

Answer 9

how do you know what US is doing against Iran.... US conceals its activities against iran from the world.
who knows?

Answer 10

For political support, especially from extremists - after all, that's his fanbase which helped him to power (and employed him when he was a terrorist, naturally)
